I am a:

As a Michigan driver, I recognize my personal responsibility to ensure our roadways are safe and comfortable for all users. Beginning right now, I will do my part to help put an end to cyclist injuries and fatalities by committing to drive as responsibly as I can. I hereby make a personal commitment to share the road and to be courteous to other roadway users by abiding by the following.

As a DRIVER, I pledge to

Recognize that bicyclists have the right to ride on the roadways

Leave at least 5 feet between a cyclist and my side mirror when passing and to only return to the lane when I can clearly see the cyclist in my rearview mirror

Use signals to indicate my turns

Yield to bicyclists (on both sides of the road) who have the right-of-way before turning at intersections and into driveways

Never "hook" a bicyclist by overtaking them and then immediately turning in front of them

Recognize that the risk to bicyclists increases exponentially as my speed increases

Never drive distracted, especially texting while driving

Recognize that bicyclists may move away from the curb and use the full travel lane in order to avoid hazards or to prepare for turns

Understand that bicyclists are not required to use sidepaths or other off road facilities, even when these amenities are present, and that riding on sidewalks is extremely dangerous

I hereby make a personal commitment to share the road and to be courteous to other roadway users by abiding by the following.

As a BICYCLIST, I pledge to:

Model exemplary bicycling behavior by obeying all laws and traffic control devices that apply to bicyclists

Use hand signals to indicate my turns

Ride predictably in the same direction as traffic and do not swerve in the road or between parked cars

Ride in the furthest right lane that travels in the direction I’m going (except when making left turns or on one-way roads where bicyclists can ride on the left side of the road)

Be assertive and assume that drivers do not see me

Recognize that I have a right to move away from the curb to prevent getting “squeezed” and to avoid debris, hazards including car doors, or to prepare for turns

Equip my bike with front and rear lights and wear brightly colored reflective clothing when riding at night or in poor visibility

Recognize that sidewalks are one of the most dangerous places to ride

Never ride more than two abreast and single up to let others pass when it is safe to do so
